Script: She's got to be on here, lads! Find her! Spread out! If any of those blasted navy soldiers get in your way, show ‘em what a pirate can do! And that we don't take it lightly if they take away one of our own! Show them our wrath/the wrath of the sea! (footsteps on deck)(Calling out to listener) Lass where are they keepin’ ya? Please, my first mate, call out to me!

(Slightly worried) I swear to Davy Jones, if they killed ya, they’ll forever suffer my wrath. (Faint knocking sound)My Lady! I- I’m coming! Just one second…this door can't keep me out for long!(Door breaking) (triumphant) There you are-![Listener is weak and covered in blood, having it smeared on her face] (hesitant ) what..what did they do to you? There’s blood on your face… [Only muffled noise as an answer. The captain starts to realize…] (Horror) Oh NO NO they didn't…those (strong yell) SWINES!!

(softly) -No hey, don't be scared, it's me.

I won't hurt you, my lady. You're my precious first mate. (chains rattling or ropes being cut) [He catches the listener that weakly falls into his arms] I’ve got ya. I won’t let you fall.…They took your tongue, didn't they?(Sharp breath) Show me, are ya still bleedin’? -It stopped bleeding. I’m so sorry. I should have found you sooner, rescued you, spared you all that pain. (deep breath in) Let’s go home now. You're safe. I’ll take you back to our ship. Hey no, just stay in my arms. I’ll carry you. (softly) Ya did good, holding out for so long. Holding on for your captain, as a brave first mate should. It's okay, you can rest now. Let me be the strong one now…okay? It’s ok, you can rest in my arms. Just, promise me, that you’ll open your eyes again. I need my first mate at my side, right! Hey, what are you shaking your head for? What do you mean? Right you can’t exactly answer, because those cursed-(stops mid word) Schhh, it's ok. Stay calm. My anger’s not towards you. Let me ask in a different way then. Did you mean you don't want to rest? No? (afraid, hesitant) Did you mean that you won't open your eyes again? (relieved sigh) No? Good. but what else could you- Wait, did you mean to say I won't need you by my side? ...Yes. why? Do ya feel this way because you can't speak anymore? Yes? Hey, no! I understand. I'd be feeling helpless too. but we’ll find another way to communicate! No, listen to me. My first mate, you aren’t useless! Not at all! You’re probably the bravest pirate the sea has ever seen. And you'll stay by my side as my first mate, voice or not! Rest now my dear, I’ll wake you once we’ve arrived on our ship, alright? Just lean on my chest, listen to my heart beat and let it lull you to sleep. (sheets rustle quickly)[Listener is coughing and struggling to breathe] Hey, my lady, wake up! Here, that’s it, I’ll help you sit upright. Now lean forward a bit. You choked. It's ok now, it’s ok. Spit everything out if you can't swallow it right now.That's it. Now breathe with me. slowly. In. and out. Good are ya getting enough air? That's good! Hey dont ya look so worried, we’ll figure out how to work around those problems. Just like we worked through all the hardships in the past, right? We did it once, we can do it again. Try and rest now, your injuries need healing. You have countless cuts and burns. It’ll take time, however, you’re my first mate. If anyone can get through this, it’s you. I won’t let ya choke to death. Captain’s honour. Yes, you’re stayin’ here, in my quarters. I’ll be fine. I wasn’t the one tied up and bleedin’, bein’ tortured by those damn navy soilders. Rest if ya can, I’ll stay by your side in case the dreams hunt you again. Alright? I won’t leave you. I’ll stay as long as you want me to. (fade out to next scene) [next morning] Ah you're awake, did you at least get a bit of rest last night? Yes, ah, thats good. I’m havin’ my Crew bring us some food and drink.. I know eating will probably hurt... we’ll cut it into small parts alright? My Lady we have to try, you can't just not eat. Hey, don't be scared, I’ve got you. I know you choked last night, but I'm here to help, if it happens again you won’t have to be scared. And no one else will see your weakness. We’ll eat here together with no one to watch. The Crew will only ever see your tough side. They’ll see the first Mate that withstood the horrendous torture of the Navy for 3 days and nights They’ll see the first mate that is able to lead a ship without a voice. And the first mate that is able to survive and overcome everything. Yes, I mean that. You are so unimaginably strong. You're allowed to be weak and to accept help. Let me care for you. (knock at the door) Ah, that’ll be the food then. (optional footsteps)(door opens and closes)(Optional footsteps) I made sure it wouldn’t be anything too hard. I’ll cut it up real small for ya. Do you wanna start with somethin’ to drink? I have some rum for the pain. We can start with a sip o' water. Here, I’ll hold it for ya. Just take it good and slow. We're in no rush.[Listener coughs, unable to swallow it] No, no, that’s alright. It’s nothin’ to me. The important thing is, you aren’t chokin’. Do you wanna try again? You can do it. I know it hurts, but you need to drink somethin’. Slowly, slowly. Now tilt your head back a bit and swallow. Good! You did it! Here, this should help dull the pain. Whoa, steady there! Take it easy, love.You’ve got it. Good. You think you’re ready for a bite to eat? Of course we can wait a few minutes. I know you must be hurtin’ all over... Those (insult) had a lot of nerve, kidnappin’ you. We should have set all their ships on fire, with them on it.(sigh) No use ruminatin’, we can’t change the past… Are ya ready to try a bite o’ stew now? I know it hurts, love. But you’ve gotta be brave. Just try one bite. I won’t let you choke,alright? I’m right here. Just take a little bit at a time. There you go. You did it. I knew you could. It was hard, but you did it anyways. Can you do it again? Just a little bite? -while it’s still nice and warm. I know it doesn’t taste like much of anything, but you need to keep your strength up. There you go. That's my brave first mate, fighting through the pain. It’s alright, my lady. It’s normal to be tired, after all you’ve been through. If you need to rest, you can rest. Don’t worry about it. I know how much it hurts ya. You’ve done good. You can rest now. Sleep well, my dear first mate. (optional: I won't leave your side.)
